Q: I own a long term holding in these stocks but am interested in adding a short term trading position in a few of them to take advantage of any January post tax loss selling bounce. Please rank these from best to worst near term (1-2 month) trading potential.

Q: I have owned GSY for a good number of years and it has been very profitable over the long term. The share price turned negative at the end of July 2024, with a bigger set back in mid October. Many analysts have a positive outlook, though Morningstar has a price target of $152 (about 10% below its current share price) and CFRA recommends selling. The CEO is on his way out. Its last earnings results seemed quite strong, yet the share price continued to decline, and forward estimates seem to be lower.

While my patience is being tested, I am mindful you have observed that one should assess a stock's performance over the long term ie over a number of years, not just a couple of quarters.

But everything is relative....is there a better place for my investment dollars, or would you hang in? Do you see any catalyst that will turn this ship around?

Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hello 5i
Please rank these companies for 2-3 year growth and in which order you would buy them if you had a fairly high risk tolerance.
Thank you

Q: There was a recent very good Q&A asked by Dan that I can no longer find. He had requested a list of (7) quality companies in the $5B market cap range. I recall WELL, GSY and TVK as part of that group....can't remember the others.

I was hoping that you could find that list and rank them by:

- current valuation

- management quality (if known)

- growth potential

- balance sheet quality

Q: Hi 5i Team.

I have some names in my TFSA account such as ATD, ATX and ENGH (and maybe some others) that are laggers and would like to move out of them and into something with potentially higher returns.
I also own the other names mentioned above.
What are your thoughts and could you recommend 3 to 5 Canadian and/or US names with the reasons and entry points.
also own NVDA that has grown to a huge percentage of the account.
I know that I should sell some but it has been such a great performer.


Thank you
Joe

Q: From previous responses I am assuming you would buy BN over EQB for a long term hold.
My concern is buying BN after such a run.
Is there room for this run to continue based on its valuation?
I have found in the past you just buy the good ones and let them do what they do.
Is that the case here again.

Thinking of switching GSY for EQB for perhaps a little more stability and eliminate the risk of that interest rate cap adjustment potential.
Your detailed thoughts pls.

Q: The current price of GSY is tempting. Your market data shows a median target of $227 which is 33% over current. Earnings are expected to grow 20% next year ($20.28-16.91) which gives a forward P/E of 10 and that compares nicely to the 5 year low P/E of 7. Historically the stock has performed well, the 5 year CAGR for the stock price is 30% which doesn't include the dividend. While the numbers look tempting, the market is giving a big yawn and I wonder what I am missing that others aren't. Perhaps you could try to explain the yawn. Feel free to correct any of the numbers if Bloomberg is reporting something different.

Q: Hi guys,

I'm thinking about selling a full position in Gsy (up over 200%, thanks) and topping up Prl, Ifc and Eqb into full positions. Thoughts?
Take care

Q: You have liked these small/mid cap names over past couple of years and most have done well, thank you.

Under current market conditions and entering a second Trump Term, what would be the order that you would buy these names? Is there any of these names you would not buy and move on from?

Thank You
Tim
